Book Reviews of Cell: A Novel
Book Review: where's the ending???
Summary: 3 Stars
i squealed with delight that there was something new for me to devour from king. i read the book in one day and then at the very end was so disgusted by the lack of closure. it is like he ran out of time or paper or electricity and phoned in the ending. i really hope that he is working on a second part. even his short story "the mist" had better closure.Book Review: woooooow!
Summary: 5 Stars
I should have listened to my mother and starting to read King much earlier. I have been reading Patricia Cornwell, Dean Koontz and James A Michener but King blows them out of water!!! If this is average KING, then I will be rolling in ectasy in next few months!!!!!! Well, veteran Kingians say that this is not his best but in my humble opinion this is one of the best things I have read in 21st century, yes better than anything the authors in my fan list have produced recently.
I am a little bit surprised people complaining about King's rehashing plots- One book does not make me an expert but I feel that it is not the story it is HOW King writes that made me ecstatic.
Sorry Mr. Koontz, your "Husband" is moved to "not-urgent list" (and talking about rehashed themes, how original one can be about a ransom story about a man and his kidnapped wife after zillionth time?) because I have more than 40 books in the queue thanks to King's amazing output.
I will now go for Pet Semetary--himm, even the name makes me excited. Delicious!
Book Review: worst book I ever read.

I kept thinking if I read more it would have to get better,so much for that thought. Save your money don't buy this book. If you have to read it wait till you can get it at the library. I would give it a minus 10 if that was possible.Book Review: ~~

I have been reading Stephen King since I was seven years old. Now I read everything from Dostoevsky to Mccarthy. King's novels have always been a staple in my library and this book does not disappoint. It pays great homage to every zombie that has existed in our culture and he does it with a sense of reality that is a bit unsettling... which is of course what makes it such a thrilling read. He takes an aspect of our society, (cell phones), that we take as must in our society these days, and intertwines it with what is going on in our news everyday all over the world, (terrorism). That with the classic King horror twist is what always brings me back to the dinner table.
